Karibu Safari

Karibu Safari is where the wonders of your journey will begin. After more than 3 decades of dedicated experience, and thousands of miles of adventurous trails, we are proud to be considered one of the leading safari companies in Namibia. Along with a devoted team that we consider family, we'd like to invite you on an unforgettable expedition. Our staff team is employed on a full-time basis throughout the 12 months of the year, a contributing factor to each one of them forming a valued part of our big family.

A noteworthy pillar of Karibu Safari is a strong and shared sense of social responsibility. We take note of the socio-economic development challenges of Namibia and recognise the visible gap between those who have and those who do not. For this reason, we make an effort to, and experience great joy in, undertaking numerous social initiatives to help uplift rural communities.

The primary aims of the foundation are to promote sustainable development, conservation of biological diversity and natural ecosystems, along with the wise and ethical use of natural resources for the benefit of all Namibians; now and in the future.
